<h1>Applying drop shadows</h1>
<p>You can apply a drop shadow to a rectangle, which causes the rectangle 
 to appear to float above the background. You can adjust the offset of 
 the drop shadow to make the rectangle appear deeper. Acceptable values 
 for the offset range from 1 to 20.</p>
<p>You can use drop shadows on the following types of controls:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>
<a HREF="Using_GG_in_documents.htm">Grid/Graph containers</a></p></li>
